L Christina Smith Domestic Abuse Prevention Foundation Inc

Our focus is preventing domestic violence before it starts.

60% of youth have been exposed to crime, violence and abuse either directly or indirectly.

39% of youth ages 12 to 17 reported witnessing violence.

We believe that by intervening early, when young people are most impressionable, we can help break the cycle of violence creating a more positive and safer world for all.
